As part of Brain Awareness Week in Croatia, Pragma organized an online workshop on the topic "Brain and hidden messages – accidental or intentional misunderstandings?". The workshop was held on Thursday, March 16 at 6:00 p.m. In more than an hour, psychologist Marija Granić presented this interesting topic from the field of neuropsychology and cognitive psychology, and the participants heard more information about how we perceive and learn hidden messages, how the brain "reads" them, how we should respond to them and why we use them in everyday communication.
The workshop was attended by more than 350 participants from all over Croatia, of different profiles and professions, with different interests in the mentioned topic. We share with you some of their feedback after the workshop:
I found answers that have troubled me in my own experiences in communication.
It is very applicable in life, very PRAGMAtic! Thank you! Bravo!
It is immediately applicable and useful in everyday relationships.
They make us aware that we look at some common everyday interactions in a different way.
I noticed how much and when I use hidden messages and confirmed how important open communication is.
Excellently presented, lots of excellent examples and educational information.
I learned many ways of communication that I wasn't even aware that I was applying and receiving.
I got some new knowledge, and I immediately started to question and analyze my actions, verbal and non-verbal communications.
I repeated the neuroscientific facts related to the psychological perspective. Very interesting and I'm always glad to hear more about it, in medicine that part is neglected. :)
The lecture was more than excellent, I hope that there will be more such lectures soon. Thanks to the organizers, especially since it was via the ZOOM application and we could all participate, unlike when it was organized in a hall. Of course, thanks to the lecturer for her many useful and interesting tips. Thank you once again for enabling participation.
